Restore Photoshop 2019 Type Tool Performance and Editing Behavior

I would like to request improvements to the Type Tool in current versions of Photoshop.

Photoshop is widely used for manga lettering and other text-heavy workflows. In my experience, versions released after Photoshop 2019 have noticeably reduced Type Tool performance while editing text, despite relatively few new Type Tool features being introduced. It would be greatly appreciated if Adobe could restore the responsiveness and overall performance level of the Type Tool found in Photoshop 2019.

Additionally, I would like to request the return of the Photoshop 2019 proportional resize behavior while actively editing text (point text or paragraph text with the text box open and the cursor active). In Photoshop 2019, using Ctrl + Alt allowed quick proportional resizing during text editing, which was extremely efficient for production workflows.

While the current Transform functionality is useful, it does not provide a smooth experience, particularly when fonts use the Smooth anti-aliasing option. Transform appears to work more smoothly with other anti-aliasing settings, but many users rely on Smooth anti-aliasing and would benefit from consistent performance.

I would also like to request the return of the Photoshop 2019 behavior for applying Layer Style presets. Holding Shift while selecting multiple style presets allowed effects to be combined without removing previously applied effects. The system intelligently merged compatible effects while replacing only conflicting instances of the same effect type. For example, applying two presets containing a Gradient Overlay would keep only the most recently applied gradient, while applying presets containing stackable effects such as Strokes would preserve multiple stroke effects. This workflow offered far greater flexibility and speed when building complex text and lettering styles.

These changes would significantly improve productivity for professionals who work extensively with text and layer styles, particularly manga letterers, graphic designers, and publishing professionals.
